Behaviour Mentor in Solihull, West Midlands

Tradewind are working with a mainstream secondary school based in Chelmsley Wood/Solihull looking to appoint a Behaviour Mentor to support students across their Restorative Room and SEND department.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys building relationships, supporting young people through challenging situations and helping them make positive changes to their behaviour and attitude towards learning.

We're keen to hear from a range of backgrounds, including graduates, sports coaches, youth workers and experienced Teaching Assistants. You don't necessarily need to have worked in a school before, but you do need the right attitude, resilience and a genuine interest in supporting young people.

You will play an important part in supporting students who may struggle with behaviour, engagement, emotional regulation or accessing mainstream lessons

• Supporting students who have been removed from lessons, helping them reflect on their behaviour and work towards a positive return to the classroom.
• Building positive relationships with students and acting as a consistent role model.
• Supporting young people with additional needs, including those who may struggle with emotional regulation and social interactions.

We are particularly interested in speaking to:

• Graduates looking to gain experience before pursuing a career in teaching, educational psychology, counselling or youth work.
• Sports coaches who are confident managing groups, motivating young people and building positive relationships.
• Experienced Teaching Assistants who have worked with students with SEND or behavioural needs.
• Youth workers, mentors or support workers with experience working with young people.
